Found this table on the street… let’s give it a makeover!

[@candicelarson9613]

One person's trash, is another person's art/snack table. 👏👏

[@priscillajimenez27]

in the 90s I remember us and others finding stuff on the curb and flipping them. simple times

[@mariec7092]

I can't tell if this is an implied judgement on the fact that some people would take out their possibly grown out kids' furniture (with a flyer on it to say it's free..), but I am just going to point out how much cooler I find it to recycle Other people's stuff than your own, or than "buying quality stuff and keeping it in the family for generations". ☺️

[@chellybabyme]

Hopefully no bedbugs or worse.

[@Dynosoarus]

​@@chellybabymegirl how would there be bedbugs

[@chellybabyme]

@@Dynosoarus when people have infestations they usually put their furniture out on the street because it's easier. In NYC, it is commonly done when people get bed bugs, fleas, Etc. Vermin will hide in the furniture for a while

[@goodasgoing]

Can it be fumigated and put outside for a period of time, a kind of quarantine, in order to get rid of infestations? Is that a good process?

[@chellybabyme]

@@goodasgoing if it is bed bugs, there is bed bug killer but I've never had to use it. I do think it's like a fumigation. Putting it outside will just probably drive them further inside of the grains and crevices. But if you took it and isolated it with some pesticide that would probably work. I didn't mention this but sometimes people have a very moldy house due to some water damage and then they have to lose their furniture. Mold grows on furniture, carpet clothing etcetera. In that case, it should be destroyed and not used because the spores will grow and contaminate the surroundings once it's brought inside. No amount of washing it up and making it look shiny and nice would fix it if that were the case.

[@mikeydoodle143]

melted my heart to see the baby so happy sitting on the refurbished chair and table!!!

[@Sword_and_Crown]

Right, if it doesn’t fit : make it fit! You did an really good job on this, your son is going to have a lot of fun with the cute table and chairs!

[@AvecPoesie]

Shelby, your inherent creativity is immensely inspiring to me. Your capacity to see and carry-out a vision then transform even the most modest items and spaces into something entirely new and aesthetic is a true talent. I suffer from an often painful disability; but, your channel has revitalized me. I've been tackling the decor in my own House because of your inspiration. 🖤

[@PrettyinthePines]

Oh my gosh, that is so kind of you to say! I hope your projects and decorating are going well and I am sure they are beautiful!

[@kyli1204]

[@chrisd7775]

Should try a chalk paint for the top. I did a similar top on my son's table became a great place for him to do homework. The top became a way to eliminate scrap paper. You can cut a piece of thin fiberglass or plexi glass for the top when you're not using the chalk.

[@PrettyinthePines]

Great idea!!

You should!

[@ZwarteKonijn]

One biggie I recommend to anyone when getting wooden furniture of the street is making sure there isn't any woodworm, termites or something similar like that in it (so keep it out of your house until your sure). A lot of the time furniture gets dumped on the street might have some infestation problem like that, and it can infest the rest of the wood in your place (and it's very difficult to get rid of in that stage). Cute end result thou!
